A capsule wardrobe is a very small collection of useful clothing that you love, that changes with each season.

Here is how you create a Capsule Wardrobe:

Limit your wardrobe: About 30-40 items is a good rule of thumb for your capsule wardrobe. Clothes, shoes and outerwear count. Pajamas, accessories, fitness apparel and special-occasion outfits do not.

Shop for the season:The total list should last you around three months (the length of an average season) until you’ll want or need to refresh.

Keep it simple:The goal is to minimize.

Focus on personal style and values over trends, and shop intentionally.

There is a woman named Caroline from Abilene, Texas who writes a blog called “Un-fancy,” where she blogs about her desire to find her own style and to shop intentionally for clothes that she really wants to wear.

Caroline’s epiphany was born out of a closet that didn’t make any sense, that was filled with cheap clothing bought to assuage negative feelings that did not reflect her style or her personal values.

I love, love, love this idea and suggest that Caroline add a Colorado Hemp Clothing hemp blend top to her wardrobe because:

Casual with jeans

Hemp needs less frequent washing than other fabrics that develop unappealing odors after one wearing.

Hemp and certified organic cotton are sustainable, natural fibers that last a lot longer than other manufactured fabrics.

Our tops are pure, simple and natural, and look great dressed up with a jacket or a stylish piece of jewelry.

Colorado Hemp Clothing is good for work, play, and workouts.

Colorado Hemp Clothing is Made in the USA.

Hemp just feels good on your body.

Simplify your life, starting with the clothes that you wear.

Design yourself a Capsule Wardrobe and don’t forget to include a basic hemp blend piece from Colorado Hemp Clothing.

While each of us tries to balance our lives and live a healthy life naturally, there are all kinds of un-natural activities going on in our world. Our society sometimes eschews the natural for profit and wealth. And many people in power often seem to reject “healthy” for “wealthy.”

The Emperor Wears No Clothes

The Best Selling Hemp Book of All Time

According to Shan Clark in Jack Herer’s book, The Emperor Wears No Clothes, the late 1920s and 1930s witnessed a ramped up gifting of financial power from government officials into the hands of a few large steel, oil, and chemical companies.

Gun Cotton

The leaders in our federal government even went so far as to bestow most of the textile production of the entire US upon its chief munitions maker, DuPont.

The process of nitrating cellulose into explosives is very similar to the process for nitrating cellulose into synthetic fibers. Rayon, the first synthetic fiber, is simply stabilized gun cotton, or nitrated cloth, the basic explosive of the 19th century. Continue reading →

2017 New Year’s Hemp Get Fit Resolutions

The “Get Healthy” or “Get in Shape” resolution is always THE number one New Year’s Resolution.
